@ccroy2001 3 года назад

I bought a similarly spec'ed Asus Vivobook you reviewed a few years ago. I did get the Realtek adapter in it to work on Linux but updates or different distros would break it and I'd have to start all over. Last year I picked up an Intel card on Amazon for $17. Problem solved! So maybe order that 8gb of ram and throw in a BT/WiFi card in your cart as well if you want to run Linux.

I got the 14s-fq1000na recently and it had some sort of static crackling coming from the back of the laptop. It's not the fan but it doesn't sound like coil whine or anything either. I'm in the process of trying to exchange it for another one and hopefully it doesn't do it. I haven't seen any other complaints about this on any of the 14s laptops, so hopefully I just got unlucky and got a slightly defective one and the one that replaces it doesn't have any issues. For the less than 24 hours total I've used it for it seems to be very good

I did notice that even with power off battery maxed out, there was still a huge difference in performance when plugged in, it almost doubled when plugged in.

@sabehakhan5693 2 года назад

I have this laptop. I think if you are new to computers you could see tutorials of how to install ram on laptop on RU-vid(If you think you can't open the bottom of the laptop go to a laptop repair shop if possible, you might end up breaking the laptop if you aren't careful!!Remember ram location is different in each laptop unless they are same model/series). Also this laptop supports 3200 hz ram (2 ram sticks are supported,1 stick is already inside the laptop when you buy it) ,if you are planning on buying ram stick you should search for "laptop ddr4 ram 3200hz", I am personally using the Samsung brand ram but Crucial ram is also great. However if you find 3200 hz ddr4 to be expensive,slightly lower than 3200 hz will also work fine!

A 2x4 config certainly would have been better for 8GB, but an argument could be made that the upgradability of 1x8 is reasonable. I've got 2x16 on the way to max out its RAM capacity, and a new NVMe SSD on the way. It's not high end at all, but if you just need a backup system or an occasional away from home, you can't argue too much with the price.

It was said that the system wouldn't proceed with 32GB of Ram even though the 5500U is more than capable of taking it, then in the next sentence that person said "So I'll have to stick with 32GB of Ram". I am pretty sure the second sentence was a typo and it can only handle 16GB. As many people are saying though 16GB should be plenty. I don't see any games requiring more than 8GB of Ram none-the-less 12GB of ram in the near future.

Unfortunately, Task Manager with laptops is inaccurate. Task manager will frequently display "1 of 2 slots" occupied. So one might think they have an extra dimm slot for ram. However when you open the laptop up you'll find that there is only 1 slot of ram or that the ram is soldered.

All three laptops say "1 of 2 slots" occupied in task manager. It's only accurate with the gaming laptop, 1 out 3 laptops. All 3 have the latest Windows 10 (21h1) at the time of writing this.
